About The Creative Communities Commons (CCC) Speaker Series  

An affiliated initiative of the School of Cities, the CCC exists to provide a node of open participation and the free exchange of intellectual resources and expertise among academia, the arts sector, community leaders, civil society, the private sector, and the public sector who share interest in:  

  • Arts and culture as a sector within every human community

  • Connecting with others working and creating spaces for connection.
